Can I still receive unemployment benefits and start working as a real estate agent?

Filed under: Government & Non-Profit — admin @ 8:14 pm
Skootz asked:


I’ve been searching for a job for a while with no luck. I was put on unemployment benefits while searching. I finally decided to get my real estate license while hunting for a job (I used to work as a home loan processor and felt it would aid in a similar line of work). Am I able to still collect unemployment benefits while waiting to get my first sale?

How do you think global warming will affect the future of real estate?

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 2:46 pm
joe c asked:


For instance, global warming will cause the ice glaciers to melt and cause a rise in sea level, thus partial flooding of coastal areas will occur. Now knowing that this might be a possible cause, how will this impact real estate?
Knowing this, how will it impact the economy and the market.

What is the general cost to start in real estate?

Filed under: Renting & Real Estate — admin @ 3:39 am
Adam G asked:


I have researched the basics of getting into real estate such as the classes you need, the cost of the license, the test you need to take, and other legal matters. My main question is, how much money is typically needed to really get going? I live in Georgia, and am pretty sure that the cost of the license is $170.00, and the test is $70.00. I’ve heard that in-person classes range from $700.00-$1000.00, while online classes go between $300.00-$500.00, and that you shouldn’t take the online classes. If someone could elaborate on this, it would be much appreciated. Also, a ballpark estimate of how much money would be needed for other fees that pop-up, such as advertising yourself. I live at home with parents currently, so living expenses would be minimum. Any information would be much appreciated.

MIA asked:


I have a completely different background, but thinking about getting into the real estate business. I might have a chance to start by helping a top commercial real estate broker in the city, but I want to know what to expect. I can’t even find books about it in the bookstore. What is the best way to start and make at least some money to survive till you hit big? I can’t afford to wait several months to get the first deal. I understand you have to be naturally good with people, but is there any way you can learn to improve your skills to get things done? How different is it from the residential real estate? I have so many questions because I don’t know anything about it, so where do I find more information? How do I know if I should get into this business? I guess starting to learn from someone with great knowledge and experience will be a plus for me, but I want to know I will be good too.

I’m interested in what exactly the HVCC does to the average real estate appraiser (Fee appraiser/independant appraiser).

Most of my research is dated back in 2008 with very little from either late December or anything from 2009.

Details and sources would be most welcome as I’m a little bit in the dark on this one hence the question.
